WPF Listbox - Empty List Display Message
- by David Ward
Can anyone suggest the best way to display a Textblock (with a text such as "List Empty") so that it's visibility is bound to the Items.Count.
I have tried the following code and can't get it to work, so think that I must be doing it wrong.
<ListBox x:Name="lstItems"
ItemsSource="{Binding ListItems}">
</ListBox>
<TextBlock Margin="4" FontStyle="Italic" FontSize="12" Text="List is empty" Visibility="Collapsed">
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=lstItems, Path=Items.Count}" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
